Generalizing the involution length of the complex hyperbolic plane, we obtain that the $\alpha$-length of $\mathrm{PU}(2,1)$ is $4$, that is, every element of $\mathrm{PU}(2,1)$ can be decomposed as the product of at most $4$ special…

A $k$-reflection of the $n$-dimensional complex hyperbolic space ${\rm H}_{\C}^n$ is an element in ${\rm U}(n,1)$ with negative type eigenvalue $\lambda$, $|\lambda|=1$, of multiplicity $k+1$ and positive type eigenvalue $1$ of multiplicity…

We study totally decomposable symplectic and unitary involutions on central simple algebras of index 2 and on split central simple algebras respectively. We show that for every field extension, these involutions are either anisotropic or…

An involution of a real commutative algebra $A$ is a real-linear homomorphism $f : A \rightarrow A$ such that $f^2 = \mathrm{Id}$. We show that there are six involutions of the algebra of bicomplex numbers, contrary to the actual number of…

It is shown that for n bigger than 1, the group of holomorphic isometries of the n dimensional complex hyperbolic space does not admit non-elementary representations into the group of isometries of the infinite dimensional real hyperbolic…

Let $H^n$ denote the complex hyperbolic space of dimension $n$. The group $U(n,1)$ acts as the group of isometries of $H^n$. In this paper we investigate when two isometries of the complex hyperbolic space commute. Along the way we…

We study relations between special elliptic isometries in the complex hyperbolic plane. Relations of lengths 2, 3, and 4 are fully classified. Some relative SU(2,1)-character varieties of the quadruply punctured sphere are described and…

Permutations are usually enumerated by size, but new results can be found by enumerating them by inversions instead, in which case one must restrict one's attention to indecomposable permutations. In the style of the seminal paper by Simion…

We find exact and asymptotic formulas for the number of pairs $(p,q)$ of $N$-cycles such that the all cycles of the product $p\cdot q$ have lengths from a given integer set. We then apply these results to prove a surprisingly high lower…

We show that there is a bijection between real-linear automorphisms of the multicomplex numbers of order $n$ and signed permutations of length $2^{n-1}$. This allows us to deduce a number of results on the multicomplex numbers, including a…

In this paper we present three different numerical approaches to account for curl-type involution constraints in hyperbolic partial differential equations for continuum physics. All approaches have a direct analogy to existing and…

This paper establishes the existence of a gap for the stable length spectrum on a hyperbolic manifold. If M is a hyperbolic n-manifold, for every positive e there is a positive d depending only on n and on e such that an element of pi_1(M)…

We show that the symmetry groups of the cut cone Cut(n) and the metric cone Met(n) both consist of the isometries induced by the permutations on {1,...,n}; that is, Is(Cut(n))=Is(Met(n))=Sym(n) for n>4. For n=4 we have…

In this note, we study deformations of a non-uniform real hyperbolic lattice in quaternionic hyperbolic spaces. Specially we show that the representations of the fundamental group of the figure eight knot complement into PU(2,1) cannot be…

We give a new upper bound on the stable commutator length of Dehn twists in hyperelliptic mapping class groups, and determine the stable commutator length of some elements. We also calculate values and the defects of homogeneous…

We study relations between reflections in (positive or negative) points in the complex hyperbolic plane. It is easy to see that the reflections in the points q_1,q_2 obtained from p_1,p_2 by moving p_1,p_2 along the geodesic generated by…

In this notes, we characterize discrete subgroups of PU(2,1), holomorphic isometric group of complex hyperbolic space, which have an invariant totally geodesic submanifold.

We develop the theory of orbibundles from a geometrical viewpoint using diffeology. One of our goals is to present new tools allowing to calculate invariants of complex hyperbolic disc orbibundles over $2$-orbifolds appearing in the…

We construct a family of hyperbolic link complements by gluing tangles along totally geodesic four-punctured spheres, then investigate the commensurability relation among its members. Those with different volume are incommensurable,…
